We made our way back to the wheeler house sneaking into the basement the strange girl sat on the couch now in my jacket I gave her while we were walking home i figured she's been out here longer than us and needed it more we all stood in front of her waiting for someone to speak up or do something "is there a number we can call for your parents?" Mike softly ask the girl trying not to scare her

"where's your hair? Do you have cancer?" Dustin ask I smacked his chest he looked up at me shrugging "did you run away?" Lucas ask "are you in some kind of trouble?" Mike questioned "is that blood?" Lucas whispered reaching out to touch her Mike smacks his hand away "stop it you're freaking her out!" Mike shouted "she's freaking me out!" He yelled back "I bet she's deaf" Dustin chimed in he clapped his hands in front of the girl making her flinch "not deaf" he said

"all right thats enough all right? She's just scared and cold" I speak up thunder following right after making the girl flinch and take deep breaths "here these are clean okay?" Mike said handing her some of his clean clothes she takes them slowly looking at them rubbing them again her face I looked at her strangely there's something up with this girl

she took my jacket off and stood up grabbing the bottom of her t-shirt and began lifting "no no no!" We all exclaim she looked at us confused Dustin and Lucas turning away "see over there thats a bathroom" Mike stammered point to the bathroom "privacy go it?" He asked she picked up the clothes and began walking to the bathroom

I follow her as she looked in like she's never been in one before I went to close the door for her and she quickly put a hand out stopping me "you don't want it closed?" I ask "no" she replied my eyes went wide as she spoke "oh you can speak" I say "okay well um how about we just keep the door... just like this" I say cracking it a little bit "is that better?" I ask "yes" she said her voice was quite and soft i nod walk away and back to the boys

"this is mental" Dustin said I smack his chest again an action I do a lot out of all the boys dustin is definitely more like a brother so i treat him like so "at least she can talk" I say shrugging "she said no and yes Mikes three year old sister says more" Lucas sassed I roll my eyes and cross my arms "she tried to get naked" Dustin exclaimed "there's something seriously wrong with her like wrong in the head" Lucas said "she just went like" Dustin started pulling his imaginary shirt up like she did knocking his hat off

"I bet she escaped from pennhurst" Lucas stated "from where?" I ask "the nuthouse in Kerley county" he replied in a duh tone "you got a lot of family there?" Dustin ask making me laugh "bite me!" Lucas shouted "seriously though think about it that would explain her shaved hair and why she's so crazy" he went on to explain it was definitely a possibility I mean what other option do we have "why she went like..." Dustin did the motion again I shake my head at the boy

"she's an escape is the point she's probably a psycho" Lucas stressed "like Michael Myers" Dustin eyes went wide "exactly! We should of never brought her here" Lucas continued "so you just wanted to leave her out in that storm?" I ask "yes! We went out to find Will not another problem" Lucas replied "I think we should tell your mom" "I second that!" The two boys who are normally arguing finally agree on something "who's crazy now?" Mike exclaimed "how is that crazy?"Lucas asked

"cause we weren't supposed to be out tonight remember?" Mike reminded us "so?" He questioned "so if I tell my mom and she tells your mom and your mom and your dad" Mike explained "shit" I say "oh man" Dustin explained "our houses become Alcatraz" Lucas realized as all of us nod "exactly we will never find will" Mike said Dustin doing the clothes motion again "all right here's the plan she sleeps here tonight" Mike spoke "you're letting a girl——" "just listen!" I say cutting Dustin off "in the morning she's sneaks around my house goes to the front door and rings the door bell my mom will answer and know exactly what to do she'll send her back to pennhurst or wherever she comes from we'll be totally in the clear and tomorrow night we go back out and this time we find Will" Mike explained his plan I nod agreeing

"yeah I'm in" I say the other boys nod the bathroom door opens and Mike walks over to the girl I grab my coat and so do the other boys "I gotta get home before my dad" I say throwing my coat on following the two boys up the stairs as they stop looking over at Mike talking to the girl "you really think she's psycho?" Dustin ask "wouldn't want her in my house" Lucas said as

we all walk up the stairs together and into the wheeler garage grabbing our bike I quickly peddled off my calves starting to burn suddenly my bike came to a quick stop and I went flying over handle bars scraping my knees and hands up I get up looking down at my now bloody hands "shit" I say as I rub the blood on my pants looking back at my bike and the rock i had just hit

I look over at the woods hearing the same rustling sounds we heard earlier i quickly pull up my bike getting on and racing off again I see my house in view and I speed up entering my yard jumping of my bike noticing my dad not home yet I smile thank the lord I quickly rush inside and change and sit on the couch turning on some random show not long the front door opens again

I look over and see my dad taking his hat and shoes off "hey kid" he said I give him a soft smile "anything?" I ask he shakes his head "I'm sorry" he said I nod and stand up walking to my room for the night disappointed we didn't find Will but who is that girl and where did she come from? my mind was racing with possibilities maybe Dustin and Lucas are right
